विवाहो बंधुनाशस्स्याद्द्वितुंडे चैव क्षुद्भयम् । विकटौ नश्यते भार्य्या विजंघे धनमेव हि
vivāho baṃdhunāśassyāddvituṃḍe caiva kṣudbhayam | vikaṭau naśyate bhāryyā vijaṃghe dhanameva hi
ದ್ವಿತುಂಡ ಎಂಬ ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿವಾಹದ ಸಂದರ್ಭ ಉಂಟಾಗುತ್ತದೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಲಾಗುತ್ತದೆ; ಆದರೆ ಬಂಧುಗಳ ನಾಶವೂ ಸಂಭವಿಸುತ್ತದೆ, ಹಾಗೆಯೇ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಕ್ಷುದ್ಭಯವೂ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ. ವಿಕಟ ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಪತ್ನಿ ನಶಿಸುತ್ತದೆ; ವಿಜಂಘ ರೂಪದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾತ್ರ ಧನವೇ ನಶಿಸುತ್ತದೆ।

FAQs
The verse highlights the instability of worldly conditions—marriage, family security, spouse, and wealth can all be subject to loss—thereby urging vairāgya (dispassion) and refuge in Pati (Lord Shiva) as the steady liberator beyond pasha (bondage).
By listing changing outcomes associated with particular names/forms, it contrasts worldly uncertainty with the dependable grace of Saguna Shiva worship (including Linga-upāsanā), through which the devotee seeks protection, purification of karma, and ultimately liberation.
A practical takeaway is to steady the mind through japa of the Panchākṣarī mantra “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” supported by Shaiva disciplines like Tripuṇḍra (bhasma) and Rudrākṣa, cultivating detachment amid gain and loss.
